Nice. I put the first base coat on my 91 integra sunday night and it looks like ****.
Now I'm gonna sand it off and start again. I WILL either get it to look good or kill me, one of the two. At this point I'm thinking the latter.

I have no experience/dont know wtf I'm doing. I scuffed up the original paint with 600 grit. I probably should have just put a sealer on it and then painted it.
Instead I bought slick sand primer which goes on thick and dries hard. Instructions said to sand it with 400, then paint. Well I sanded it a lot, but I obviously should have started with 220 and taken a lot more off before I went to 400. It looks fine from 3 feet away, but up close it just looks rough. I'll send you a pic of what I'm talking about. Maybe you can give me some tips like "take it to somebody that knows how to paint."

I had cash for Ray for that Supra for almost a month, he just never called me saying he wanted to sell. I told him time and time again I was serious. In any event, I'm definitely going single. I have a kit lined up but I'm just waiting for the seller to get word about his new turbo purchase. He's kinda in the same boat you were with selling your old and buying a new one as quick as possible to minimize the car's downtime. So hopefully it will be a done deal by the weekend and I can go pick it up

Feel free to email. It might be hard to advise without seeing it in person but I don't mind trying to help. Painting is not all that easy. I learn something new about it almost every time I get my gun out. Asking a lot of questions has helped me out tremendously.

Hopefully Nick's upgraded t-78. We shall see I'm keeping my fingers crossed, otherwise back to searching for either a 78 kit or a 35/40.

Yeah painting is a miserable experience for first timers in my mind. I tried and failed miserably and wound up just letting mr. fd3boost fix my mess.

Even doing yours I ran into problems Jon. The hood has contaminaton in it and they need to be budded again. Its hard to buff the parts right if they are not mounted on the car.

Nice, it's always been known as the home of the 10z pony.

Say it all together now, " We are just south of Warshington"
